Hi, Mat,

FrameMaker can be used to publish documents such as catalogs, absolutely. Unfortunately though, there isn't any single easy out-of-the-box solution to setting up a catalog which would include an interface for access by less-skilled users and database integration. The development time for this would be pretty substantial, even (or especially) for a single catalog.

Adobe has a white paper about database publishing with FrameMaker, here: <http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/pdfs/database_fm7.pdf> Although it is getting a bit long in the tooth, the general concepts are still all valid for FM 8.

Do you print your catalog with a commercial printer and/or distribute it as a PDF on the web, or ?

Sheila
